Precious metals are losing ground as Treasury yields are moving higher.
Gold continues to consolidate below the $2000 level. Today, gold made an attempt to settle above $2000 but lost momentum as Treasury yields moved towards weekly highs.
In case gold declines below the $1980 level, it will head towards the next support level at $1960. On the upside, a move above $2000 will push gold towards the resistance at $2010.
